A Night in the Forest

That was a petrifying night

sound of chirping birds reached my ear,

Everything was going out of my sight

And I was abutted by the fear.

The moon light stumbled upon the ground

Though It looked awful

It was all ruinous all around,

Still the moonlight shined beautiful.

Snuggled upon the tree

Finding for the shield,

Waiting for someone to make me free,

From that sinister field.

The whole night I spent there

And everything was fine,

Without sustenance and care

I saw the another sunshine.
